PRISONS/PRISON HEALTH

Too Little Too Late: an independent review of unmet mental health need in prison (4th February 2009)
This report, published by the Prison Reform Trust, draws on information and evidence provided by the Independent Monitoring Boards of 57 prisons. The report reveals that many people who should have been diverted into mental health or social care from police stations or courts are entering prisons which are ill equipped to meet their needs and then being discharged back into the community with any support.
